UNSPSC 50352203: Frozen organic brigitta blueberries

The variety of organic blueberries known as organic brigitta blueberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50352203 Frozen organic brigitta blueberries is a Commodity code that describes a specific frozen fruit product, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying broad food-supply contracts that span shelf-stable pantry items, fresh produce, frozen products, dairy, meats, and food-service supplies. School districts, county boards of education, and social services departments are the primary buyers. The work involves responding to line-item bids for bulk food procurement to support school nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program), county senior services, and municipal food assistance. Contracts typically require firm pricing over a full fiscal or school year (July 1 through June 30), compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content in processed products), USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall capability, and delivery to multiple designated sites on a Monday-through-Friday schedule with temperature and freshness controls. Award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and vendors must provide references, debarment certifications, E-Verify compliance, general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence, and anti-collusion affidavits.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits) with bids due June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school sites. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) via informal written quotes due October 19, 2026, for the Department of Community Services.
